Archaeologists have immeasurable existence value for excavating cultural relics and restoring historical truths. In the hearts of everyone, archaeologists dig "other people's ancestral tombs", but do you believe that an archaeological team leader found "self-excavated ancestral graves" when leading the team to excavate ancient tombs? Who is this archeological captain? And how did you find out that this is your ancestral grave? What kind of measures were taken after the discovery?
This matter began in 2016, when the archaeologists found a seriously damaged Qing Dynasty tomb, in order to protect the tomb Chinese, after the approval of the superior leaders, the archaeological team leader Wang Wenyuan led the team to carry out protective excavations of this Qing Dynasty tomb. Halfway through the excavation, Wang Wenyuan suddenly called an emergency halt and told the staff present: This is the grave of my family's ancestors.
In the face of everyone's confusion, he explained: He found a genealogy in the tomb, the genealogy shows that the owner of the tomb of this Qing tomb is called Wang Shiren, his ancestor is called Wang Shiming, Wang Shiren is Wang Shiming's brother, Wang Shiren was the minister of the military aircraft department in the Kangxi period, and was buried in the Changsha area of Hunan after his death, which is also the tomb of his ancestors!
Looking at the hesitation of his own team members, Grand Duke Wang Wenyuan selflessly told the team members: Continue to dig! In less than a week, this Qing tomb was excavated, and the excavated cultural relics have high research value!
Some people recognize Wang Wenyuan's behavior, believing that he has a high sense of responsibility and dedication; others feel that digging his ancestral grave is not filial piety and immorality.
For Wang Wenyuan: If you can restore some historical truths through the excavation of ancestral tombs, it is more meaningful! Do you think Wang Wenyuan is doing the right thing? If you were Wang Wenyuan, what would you do?
